Is this what ESPN had in mind?

Someone at ESPN thought it'd be a great idea to hire Rush Limbaugh for their Sunday morning NFL Countdown show. This is what they got for their troubles:

Limbaugh's idea of commentary Sunday involved an absurd attack on Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and on "the media" that have overrated him because "the media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well. There's interest in black quarterbacks and coaches doing well." McNabb, Limbaugh said, isn't "as good as everyone says he has been."

Philly Inquirer columnist Phil Sheridan tears Rush a new one.
